[…] far they have come. Check out their video below, and if you’re inspired like I was please do donate. Besides cash for projects, they always in need of laptops, stationery, educational materials. […]

Hi there, We are all blown away by the work you have done and are doing and as farmers we are hoping to use your BI as a blueprint to uplift our rural community that are in need of so much. However as regards donating or sponsoring Bulungula let me know how we can help you! we are hoping to secure an accommodation booking during December – there are 12 of us – as we would like to see first hand how you manage to ‘live off the grid’ so successfully and also we have family arriving from overseas spending Christmas with us and they have expressed how much they would like to visit Bulungula during this time.

Hi Winonah. Thank you for your email and your interest in our work. We welcome donations for all our projects (!) which you can make via our website under the ‘Donate’ tab. We would be very happy to show you around and share our progress in our projects. However, December is a tricky time since our NGO offices at the Bulungula Incubator close on 13 December and will only open on 6 January 2014. All project managers will be on leave for the Xmas season but you can walk around the village, engage with community members and see the eco-sustainable technologies used at the Bulungula Lodge (which doesn’t close, of course). We don’t however handle any bookings for the Bulungula Lodge, since they are a separate entity to us and operate completely independently. You can make bookings by calling them on 0475778900 or visit their website at http://www.bulungula.com .best, Rejane

It’d be great for overseas donors to be able to see what the rand is worth, when donating by credit card-any chance you could put a link on this page to a currency converter or something similar?

i came to visit u guys in april this year, and was totally blown away by what u are doing.
i especially enjoyed meeting allan, and playing with him whilst i was there.
im back in the UK, and working back at an autistic school, and when i was forwarded your build a school website i passed on the details to the teachers at my school. every year at christmas they donate their christmas card money to charity and really wanted to help build a school. especially after showing them photos. so i have sent on the money they have collected together. but please do keep us in mind, as one school to another, as maybe we would be able to raise more money or send supplies for the school.
Also if you need any information about autism, please do contact us, everyone loved the sound of allan, he is sooo like the kids in our school.

hope you all had a good christmas. love to everyone there. keep doing an amazing job.

The Start of the Bulungula Incubator

Our work in the area began with the establishment of the Bulungula Lodge in 2004 (www.bulungula.com) on the Wild Coast of the Eastern Cape in South Africa. The Lodge is community owned, Fair Trade accredited, and uses renewable energy, composting toilets and harvests sustainable rain and ground water sources. In 2007, an appeal to previous guests of the Lodge seed funded our NGO, the Bulungula Incubator, which we established in 2007 to address the challenges of rural poverty in our community while promoting and preserving the positive effects of the traditional African lifestyle and culture.
